Landowners may want tenant farmers to leave for several reasons, including the desire to increase profits by pursuing more lucrative agricultural practices or to develop the land for commercial or residential use. Additionally, they might be dissatisfied with the productivity or management of the tenant farmers, leading to a preference for more favorable arrangements. Economic pressures, such as rising land values or changes in market demand, can also motivate landowners to seek new tenants or alternative uses for their land.

Tenant Farmers
They do that because they would divide their land among their sons and after several generations the average farmer would have about an acre of land. So with a little bit of money they had no choice but to sell their land to aristocrats and become tenant farmers.

The owners of the land tell the tenant farmers that the bank is foreclosing on the property and they must leave. They offer some compensation for the improvements made to the land by the farmers, but it is not nearly enough to cover their losses.

The landowners want the tenant farmers to leave in "The Grapes of Wrath" because they want to increase profits by using modern agricultural methods that require fewer workers. They see the tenant farmers as obstacles to progress and are driven by greed and a desire for efficiency. The farmers are viewed as expendable in the face of mechanization and economic interests.
A serf farms land that belongs to another, is able to retain some of his crop, and is legally bound to the land. He cannot leave for a better piece of land or a better job. A tenant farmer farms land that belongs to another under a rental or lease arrangement. He pays the land owner for the right to farm, usually with a portion of the crop. In theory he has the right to leave and farm elsewhere, or take a job in town. In practice, tenant farmers were sometime do deeply in debt to their land owners that they could not leave because the local law considered leaving as the same as running out on the debt. Then a tenant farmer was not much different from a serf.

Tenant Farmers
Not in the US, at least. With the shrinking number of farmers and more efficient farming methods, many farmers (if not most) farm at least some land that they do not live on but they are the tenant.
